You just thought July's Supermoon was over the top.
Just wait until next month. The August 10, 2014 Supermoon should outshine the all others of this year.
It will be the closest the moon gets to the earth in 2014 - passing within 221,765 miles. Call it the super Supermoon.
That means when it reaches its perigee - the point it is closest to earth - it will appear brighter and larger than it has so far.
And you know the stir the last two Supermoons have caused on July 11-12 of this month and Friday the 13th in June, right? Well, the August Supermoon promises to be the one to watch, the one that could take your breath away at peak viewing.
As for peak, the August Super-Supermoon is expected to be at its fullest at 1:09 p.m. CDT in the United States. And it won't be that close again until September 28, 2015 according to earthsky.org.
What is a Supermoon? The term Supermoon was coined in 2011, apparently. It was first used on March 19, 2011 when we experienced a perigee full moon - the biggest bad moon in all its splendor.
Some think the term is overused. But maybe that depends on whether you are watching it preside over a humble earth at the moment of perigee.
Many suspect it got legs through social media. People see the moon appear so full and larger than most days, and they wonder what's up? So they take to social media to find out.
It's a supermoon, they say, posting one picture after another.The June 2014 Supermoon was perhaps the best for many because it reached perigee right after the sun went down - creating a large "strawberry moon" appearance. But the upcoming supermoon in August will be the largest. Just hope for clear skies and a good viewing post.
